Obama was an outsider with no insider connections. Hillary was the insider, establishment favorite and inevitable candidate. And yet his insurgent campaign appealed to voters and they went with him.
Stories were floated about him being "not like us" and challenged his love for the country, among other things.
In this instance, staffers discussed but didn't take action on their ways to undermine Benard's campaign. Still wrong. Still inappropriate. Still should be fired. But had no direct impact on the election unless you're implying the 3.5M more who chose HRC over Benard are sheep who do as the DNC says (private internal emails).

Obama was not an insider like Bernie. After his 2004 speech he was the talk of the town and a rising star in the party. That's like calling Rubio an outsider b/c no one knew who he was.
The un-American stuff was traced to the Clinton Campaign not the DNC, so irrelevant.
You don't know what actions were taken to undermine him, they weren't discussing these plans for fun. These were orders from the top. The impact has yet to be determined.
